BLUEANT – Buffeted and became unbalanced shortly after the start. When asked to comment on the performance apprentice M Wishart explained that in her opinion the gelding doesn’t run out a strong 1200m and with the rise in weight for today’s event, that combination may have had a bearing on its finishing effort.
